Hi Rick, I saw this too and managed to get it to work on my K5. To do it, make sure the file format is set to RAW+jpeg. Then, using the right-hand-side button in the cluster of 4 around the OK button, select the monochrome filter. This makes the jpeg monochrome; the preview image is that jpeg. And, of course, you still have the RAW image. I've got these settings programmed in to one of the user modes so I can switch in and out as I desire. Hope this helps.
